Clouds gathering over the main US coalition attack force in Syria

Currently, the attention of the Middle Eastern media is focused on the initiative to create a security zone to the east of the Euphrates River in Syria.

This issue is being actively discussed by allies in the NATO bloc - the United States and Turkey.

Details were disclosed to “Russian Spring” by a military source in Syrian Arab Republic.

In the case of successful negotiations, the YPG self-defense detachments, which have long been the main striking force of the US Coalition, risk losing their former influence in the Arab Republic.

Over eight years of armed conflict in Syria spawn new backstage games. The United States, working closely with Democratic Forces, is simultaneously negotiating with Turkey to create a buffer zone in northeastern Syria. Until now, such contacts remained unsuccessful and contradicted each other.

Former US ambassador to Turkey, James Jeffrey, who now holds the post of special envoy to Syria, once stated that "the Turks and the Americans do not understand each other."

Nevertheless, according to Washington’s idea, a “limited number” of Turkish soldiers in Syrian territory along the border should ensure the protection of the buffer zone from the Euphrates to the border of Iraq. It is not excluded that in the near future in the northern regions also appear the military from the European countries, the same France, which will officially announce its presence in the Arab Republic.

If the US allies from the international coalition agree to step up military operations as part of a multinational coalition in the north of Syria, and negotiations with the Turks will bear fruit, the Kurdish self-defense units of YPG will have to push back.

According to the Arabic Al-Monitor, Jeffrey exerts strong pressure on the Kurdish allies, if only they “open the door” for Ankara.

It seems that in Washington they are ready to get rid of the “regime” of Assad by any means, for which two sworn enemies are pushed together. The leader of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazlum Kobani, has already spoken out against any presence of Turkish troops in the northeast region, but the opinion of the SDF is unlikely to be taken into account.

It all comes down to the fact that the Kurds are at risk of becoming a victim of backstage political and economic interests.

The self-proclaimed education "Rojava" (Western Kurdistan) is viewed by Turkey as a threat to national security. And the Kurds themselves, completely dependent on American support, are positioned by Ankara as terrorists: for Recep Erdogan, they are no different from ISIS* militants.

Under these conditions, the SDF will have no other choice but to agree to any conditions imposed from outside.
